BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

Field of Invention

The present invention relates to the field of optical imaging, and more particularly to an optical imaging lens. The invention further relates to a lens assembly for an optical imaging lens.

Description of Related Arts

Optical imaging systems, and in particular refracted optical imaging systems, often require optical imaging lenses for receiving imaging light from the imaging object to image. Optical imaging systems are subject to various aberrations, such as spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, field curvature, and distortion.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned various factors affecting imaging, the lens assembly of the conventional optical imaging lens generally includes a plurality of lenses to effectively eliminate various aberrations and improve the image quality. In addition, in order to obtain high quality and low distortion imaging effects, the optical imaging lens also needs an achromatic lens to reduce color aberration. The conventional achromatic lens typically includes two monolithic lenses which have different achromatic properties and are combined together, such as two cemented lenses or double-spaced lenses. However, when the imaging optical system only employs a single achromatic lens to achieve imaging, it is difficult to reduce other factors that affect the image quality, and a single achromatic lens to achieve good imaging need to use a ultra-low dispersion lens (ED lens), for example, a lens made of fluorite. Fluorite is very difficult to process and high in cost, and its production process brings environmental pollution. In addition, fluorite is fragile, which results in the entire optical imaging lens is not suitable for being used in complex and harsh environments.

With the development of science and technology, various technologies involving optical imaging, such as the vehicular optical imaging system used in the automobile industry and the imaging equipment used in the mobile electronic devices such as mobile phones, etc., require the optical imaging lens having a higher imaging quality. The optical imaging systems involved in these fields not only require that their optical imaging lenses obtain a small image distortion, but also require their lens assemblies to have fewer lenses, so as to make the optical imaging systems be miniaturized and have a lower manufacturing cost.

Preferred embodiments are provided in the following description only as examples and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined in the following description would be applied to other embodiments, alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4 of the accompanying drawings of the present invention, a lens assembly for an optical imaging lens according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the lens assembly of the optical imaging lens includes at least a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, a fifth lens L5 and a sixth lens L6, wherein the first lens L1 has a negative power, and the sixth lens L6 has a positive power, wherein the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 define a first achromatic lens assembly A1, and the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 defines a second achromatic lens assembly A2, wherein the first lens L1, the first achromatic lens assembly A1, the second achromatic lens assembly A2 and the sixth lens L6 are orderly arranged along the direction from the object side to the image side.

Preferably, the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 are sequentially arranged along the direction from the object side to the image side, wherein the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 form the first achromatic lens assembly A1, and the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 form the second achromatic lens assembly A2. Preferably, the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4 and/or the fifth lens L5 are aspheric lenses to improve the optical properties of the lens assembly according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. More preferably, each of the lenses of the lens assembly may be an aspherical lens made of plastic material (e.g., under a service condition having a low requirement of ambient temperature condition) to reduce the manufacturing cost and overall weight of the entire lens assembly and the lens assembly.

Alternatively, the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, and/or the fifth lens L5 are spherical lenses so that the lenses of the lens assembly can employ spherical lenses having low manufacturing cost, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost of the optical imaging lens employing the lens assembly under the premise of ensuring high image quality and temperature stability.

As shown in FIG. 1, the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 of the lens assembly according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention are coaxial with each other, which is used for the optical imaging lens.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lens assembly for the optical imaging lens according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention further includes a diaphragm STO, wherein the diaphragm STO is provided between the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4, wherein the optical center of the diaphragm STO is coaxial with the optical centers of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6. Alternatively, the diaphragm STO is provided between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2. Alternatively, the diaphragm STO may also be provided between the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6. In some embodiments, the diaphragm STO is provided on the first lens L1 or the second lens L2. In still other embodiments, the diaphragm STO is provided on the third lens L3 or the fourth lens L4. In still other embodiments, the diaphragm STO is provided on the fifth lens L5 or the sixth lens L6.

As shown in FIG. 1, the first lens L1 of the lens assembly for the optical imaging lens according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention has a convex surface S1 and a concave surface S2; the second lens L2 has two concave surfaces S3, S4; the third lens L3 has two convex surfaces S5, S6; the fourth lens L4 has two convex surfaces S7, S8; the fifth lens L5 has a concave surface S9 and a convex surface S10; the center portion L6I of the sixth lens L6 has two convex surfaces S611, S612, and the edge portion L62 of the sixth lens L6 has two convex surfaces S621, S622, wherein the convex surface S1 of the first lens L1 faces the object side, the concave surface S2 of the first lens L1 faces the image side; the two concave surfaces S3, S4 of the second lens L2 face the object side and the image side respectively; the two convex surfaces S5, S6 of the three lenses L3 face the object side and the image side respectively; the two convex surfaces S7, S8 of the fourth lens L4 face the object side and the image side respectively; the concave surface S9 of the fifth lens L5 faces the object side, the convex surface S10 of the fifth lens L5 faces the image side; the convex surfaces S611, S612 of the center portion L6I of the sixth lens L6 face the object side and the image side respectively, the convex surfaces S621, S622 of the edge portion L62 of the sixth lens L6 face the object side and the image side respectively. Preferably, the convex surface S611 of the central portion L6I of the sixth lens L6 and the convex surface S621 of the edge portion L62 of the sixth lens L6 form a convex surface S11 facing the object side, and the convex surface S612 of the center portion L6I of the sixth lens L6 and the convex surface S622 of the edge portion L62 of the sixth lens L6 form a convex surface S12 facing the image side. Therefore, the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 of the lens assembly for the optical imaging lens according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention are respectively double-sided lenses. Further, the second lens L2 is a biconcave lens, and the third lens L3 is a biconvex lens and the sixth lens L6 is a biconvex lens.

Alternatively, the first lens L1 of the lens assembly for the optical imaging lens according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention has a concave surface S1 facing the object side and a concave surface S2 facing the image side. Alternatively, the edge portion L62 of the sixth lens L6 has a negative power. Optionally, the edge portion L62 of the sixth lens L6 has a convex surface S621 facing the object side and a concave surface S622 facing the image side. Therefore, the convex surface S611 of the central portion L6I of the sixth lens L6 and the convex surface S621 of the edge portion L62 of the sixth lens L6 form a convex surface S11 facing the object side.

It is worth mentioning that when the convex surface S1 of the first lens L1 of the lens assembly faces the object side, it is advantageous to make more light enter into the lens assembly as much as possible. At the same time, the convex surface S1 of the first lens L1 faces the object side, which makes the first lens L1 of the lens assembly not easily be contaminated with dirt when the lens assembly is used outdoor, for example, rain is easier to fall on a rainy day. When the first lens L1 facing the object side is a concave surface S2, it is advantageous to reduce the diameter of the front end of the optical imaging lens employing the lens assembly of the present invention, so as to reduce the size of the optical imaging lens—or increase the distortion of the optical imaging lens to be suitable for a driving recorder and so on, which need to focus on a small range of observation to observe the situation.

As shown in FIG. 1, the concave S4 of the second lens L2 of the lens assembly for the optical imaging lens according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, which faces the image side, and the convex surface S5 of the third lens L3, which faces the object side, are provided to face with each other; the convex surface S8 of the fourth lens L4, which faces the image side, and the concave surface S9 of the fifth lens L5, which faces the object side, are provided to face with each other.

As shown in FIG. 1, the first and second achromatic lens assemblies A1, A2 of the lens assembly for the optical imaging lens according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention are preferably cemented lenses. In other words, the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 may be glued together to form the first achromatic lens assembly A1; the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 may be glued together to form the second achromatic lens assembly A2. At this time, since the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 are glued together and the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 are glued together, so the concave surface S4 of the second lens L2 and the convex surface S5 of the third lens L3; the convex surface S8 of the fourth lens L4 and the concave surface S9 of the fifth lens L5 are glued together. Preferably, both the concave surface S4 of the second lens L2 and the convex surface S5 of the third lens L3 are aspherical. More preferably, the convex surface S8 of the fourth lens L4 and the concave surface S9 of the fifth lens L5 are both aspherical to further reduce the chromatic aberration. Alternatively, the first and second achromatic lens assemblies A1, A2 may respectively be a double-separated achromatic lens assembly. It is appreciated that the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 are separately provided when the first and second achromatic lens assemblies A1, A2 are double-separated type achromatic lens assemblies; the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 are separately provided, the diaphragm STO may be provided between the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 or between the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5.

As shown in FIG. 1, the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 of the first achromatic lens assembly A1 of the lens assembly for the optical imaging lens according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention have a negative power and a positive power respectively, wherein the second lens L2 is preferably made of material having a low refractive index and a high Abbe number, and the third lens L3 is preferably made of material having a high refractive index and a low Abbe number, wherein the second lens L2 having a negative power has a lower refractive index, and the third lens L3 having a positive power has a higher refractive index, and this combination of high and low refractive indexes facilitates a rapid transition of the front light, to enlarge the aperture diameter and satisfy a night vision requirement, and when the first achromatic lens assembly A1 is a cemented lens assembly, which makes the entire lens assembly more compact and can effectively reduce the system chromatic aberration of the entire lens assembly.

Further, the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 of the second achromatic lens assembly A2 of the lens assembly for the optical imaging lens according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention also respectively have a positive power and a negative light power. Preferably, the second achromatic lens assembly A2 is a cemented lens assembly, and the diaphragm STO is disposed between the first achromatic lens assembly A1 and the second achromatic lens assembly A2. The two cemented lens assemblies of the lens assembly collectively correct the overall chromatic aberration of the lens assembly, and the two first and second achromatic lens assemblies A1 and A2 are respectively provided on two sides of the diaphragm STO to effectively correct aberration, improve the resolution and effectively shorten the overall length of the lens assembly.

Further, the focal length of the combination of the first lens L1 and the first achromatic lens assembly A1 of the lens assembly for the optical imaging lens according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is F1, the focal length of the combination of the second achromatic lens assembly A2 and the six lens L6 is F2, and the focal length of the entire lens assembly is F, preferably, 1.0≦F2/F≦2.2. Therefore, by allocating reasonably the optical power, when the value of F2/F is larger, the aberration can be reduced to obtain better image quality; when the value of F2/F is smaller, the light reaching the image plane can be quickly converged, so as to reduce the distance between the six lenses L6 and the image plane.

As shown in FIG. 1, furthermore, the lens assembly for the optical imaging system according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention defines an image plane IMA, and the optical imaging system may further include a color filter IR and a protective glass CG disposed in front of the image plane IMA.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sixth lens L6 of the lens assembly for the optical imaging lens according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is an aspheric lens. Preferably, the sixth lens L6 is a glass aspherical lens. Optionally, the sixth lens L6 is a plastic aspherical lens. When the sixth lens L6 is made of plastic material, the overall weight and the manufacturing cost of the lens assembly may be reduced. More preferably, the aspherical surface of the sixth lens L6 can satisfy the following formula:

${Z(h)} = {\frac{{ch}^{2}}{1 + \sqrt{1 - {\left( {1 + k} \right)c^{2}h^{2}}}} + {A\; h^{4}} + {Bh}^{6} + {Ch}^{8} + {Dh}^{10} + {Eh}^{12}}$
